Why choose Healthcare Academy of New Zealand?

Healthcare Academy of New Zealand is dedicated to connecting and educating the next generation of aspiring healthcare professionals. We provide a supportive, seamless journey from class to clinic to career to community, through practical experience, clinical placements, strong industry connections and caring tutors.

The key to a healthcare system that lifts outcomes for New Zealanders is a diverse workforce of nurses and care workers, and Aotearoa's workforce is facing a critical shortage of skilled professionals. 

Throughout New Zealand’s Covid-19 response, it has become clear that this is a country truly connected by care. The health workforce rapidly surged, with a huge number of Kiwis stepping up to administer vaccinations and work at managed isolation facilities. This highlighted the need for a dedicated healthcare academy to formally educate this workforce and provide solid pathways to a lifelong career in healthcare. 

We’re proud to play a vital role in transforming Aotearoa’s health sector into a more equitable, cohesive and people-centred system by providing access to healthcare training for all types of learners, delivering quality, relevant education via small class sizes and hands-on learning. 

While we might look like a new addition to the healthcare education space, we’ve actually been helping Kiwi learners move ahead for decades. Healthcare Academy is part of Aotearoa's leading private tertiary education network, which educates nearly 10,000 students across a diverse range of schools such as Yoobee College of Creative Innovation, NZMA and NZ School of Tourism.

This experience means we know what it takes to deliver a high-quality education that prepares learners for what’s next. We’re well-respected, have strong graduate outcomes and we’re focused on helping priority learners enter the workforce or higher study.

At Healthcare Academy of New Zealand, we’re connected by care.
